You try memorize your camera or grab settings from a photographer but when you plug them in to your camera you’re left with a photo that doesn’t look good… and that’s exactly why you stay stuck.
The moment photography started making sense for me was when I stopped overthinking settings and started using a simple system.
AIM → ADJUST
Instead of memorizing everything at once, you start with a baseline… then make small changes based on light and movement.
That’s it!!
No guessing.
No panic.
No falling back on auto mode.
Just clarity.
This system (AIM and ADJUST) is what I teach inside Mastering Manual Mode because it’s how you actualllllllly build confidence with your camera in real life—not just in theory!
Comment BEGINNER and I’ll show you how simple camera settings can be!
